Thunderstone Search Appliance Manual

File path to a Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer format cookie
file to read at start up. This allows persistent cookies saved by a
browser to be read by the Search Appliance, so it can inherit the browser's
state.
This is not recommended with the Search Appliance as it would require
exporting a filesystem with your cookie file and mounting it to
the Search Appliance. Then every walk would be dependent on that machine
being online and the cookie file being present.
